It’s the rainy season, aka hurricane season, in Southern Florida. And so it goes that plantlife is happily drinking up the rains after the season of draught. This image shows rain collected by a Blushing Bromeliad (Neorgelia carolinae). As the previous post of Oyster Plant, one must pause and look deep inside the plant’s center to see it’s flowers.

These images show water-filled center which is soon be lush with multiple blooms. Today two flowers emerge from the rain waters.

I see now I also captured a critter, a mosquito most probably, waiting to dry it’s wings after the rain. Copyright 2021 Pamela Breitberg
